Peach Delight Cobbler:
I recently ran a recipe from one of my auction friends and a small cookbook she had created a few years back. Genelle and her husband sit in front of me at a local auction I attend almost every weekend, and we’ve all become good friends and often go out for ice cream after the auction.
Genelle surprised me recently when she revealed that she had created this cookbook of some of her favorite recipes and had sold copies of the book in a small antiques and collectibles shop that she ran here in town for many years. As I mentioned before, you just never know about your friends do you?
I was honored that she gave me one of the few remaining copies of her book and I quickly set out to try some of her recipes. The recent post and recipe for Blueberry Bread was the first one I tried and it turned out great in my humble opinion. As I mentioned then, another auction friend that typically sits behind me, brought me a large bag of fresh Blueberries that she picked from plants at her home. It just seemed to work out that I should try the Blueberry Bread first.
Another recipe that caught my attention was called Apple Delight and I hope to give that one a try before long as fall moves in and area apples become available. I’ll still have to wait a few weeks on that one though.
Peaches are in full season at the moment. I was fortunate enough to be able to pick up some peaches a week or so back from Pee Dee Orchards down on Hwy. 74 East in Lilesville, North Carolina. So, with peaches instead of apples, I adapted Genelles recipe and came up with this Peach Delight Cobbler. I loved it and hope you will too. It’s not one of those cobblers where the flour rises up in the dish as it cooks to create the cake part of the cobbler, it’s more like a thick crumb topping on top of fresh sliced peaches. It’s certainly worth giving a try and doesn’t require but just a few simple ingredients.
Ready for some warm Peach Delight Cobbler, maybe with some Ice Cream on top? Alright then… Let’s Get Cooking!
Peach Delight Cobbler Recipe: You’ll need these ingredients.
We’ll make the topping first. Start by placing the Flour in a medium size mixing bowl.
Add the loosely packed Brown Sugar. Brown Sugar is typically pressed into a measuring cup to be sure you have the full amount needed as measured, but it’s not necessary with this recipe, just lightly fill the measuring cup and you’ll be good to go.
Margarine should be about room temperature. Just slice it up right on its wrapper.
Then, toss it in on top of the Brown Sugar.
Use a fork and work the ingredients together until it’s crumbly. This will take a minute or two to accomplish but keep mashing and spreading it until it looks a bit like this. Larger lumps of remaining butter will not present a problem.
Peel and slice up the Peaches, then add them into your baking dish. I’m using a 2 quart round dish but something similar will do. I prefer the deeper dish because I know it’s going to bubble up a good bit and I don’t want it making a big mess inside the oven when it does.
Sprinkle the Granulated Sugar over the Peaches.
Add a dash of Salt.
Sprinkle on the Ground Cinnamon.
Grab a large spoon and gently toss the peaches around to mix it all together.
Add the topping mixture.
Continue adding the topping until you’ve got the Peaches covered.
This part is optional: If you have them handy, add some sugar Sprinkles. I just happen to have this container from Wilton and like adding it to my baked desserts. If you don’t have any around, no problem.
OK… I might have got a little heavy handed with the Sprinkles. Anyway, here is our Peach Delight Cobbler all ready for the oven.
Place the cobbler on the middle rack of your oven and let it bake at 350º for about 30 to 40 minutes or until done. Ovens vary so be sure to watch it closely and don’t let the top burn.
As the top browns sufficiently, insert a wooden toothpick into the topping portion of the cobbler. If the toothpick comes out clean, without any crumbs, the cobbler is done and should be removed from the oven. If you pull the toothpick out, and it has some crumbs attached, let the cobbler bake for a few minutes longer.
Remove the Peach Delight Cobbler from the oven and sit on a wire rack or folded towel on your counter top to let it cool.
It gets really hot so allow time for it to cool a bit before digging in.
Serve it warm and Enjoy!
